At Reins of Hope, our equine-assisted activities are individually tailored to focus on specific issues for each client, providing life tools that will extend beyond the arena and into daily life. Whether it is a physical, emotional, educational, or social issue, horses do not see a disability or a diagnosis. Their non-judgmental hearts allow participants to grow past the confines of their challenges and into a more productive and healthy life. We are so grateful for the support of our community, volunteers, and donors, who allow us to fulfill our program mission.
